I am here to talk to you about money. Is it the root of all evil? What is money and what is evil? Chambers school dictionary defines money as the coins and banknotes, which are used for payment and it defines evil as wicked, harmful and unpleasant. You could say that money is the root of all evil but now that would be a lie. The Bible reference from which this idea is derived clearly states that the LOVE of money may I repeat that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil not that money itself is the root of all evil. If I may I shall now quote from the Bible reference first Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money placed before the love of God is the root of all kinds of evil." In other words if you place the love of money before the love of God you are sinning.
